Etymology
For kaĩp, taĩp, previous attested forms were Old Lithuanian kaipo, taipo. The stems are easy to explain (kaĩ, taĩ, etc.)
- One hypothesis to explain -po is that it is cognate to Latin -pe, as in Latin quippe.[1][2]
- Another hypothesis is that -po originates from the preposition põ.[3] Compare kodė̃l, which is suffixed by a preposition that normally precedes its complement.
Suffix
-aĩp
- Forms adverbs, with the meaning "in [such] way", from pronominal stems.
- kitas (“another”) + -aip → kitaip (“in another way”)
